I don’t think musk’s America Party will succeed. Don’t fight history. Although he is well known, I don’t think he has the political aptitude. I also think his policies will favour Tesla rather than the nation. I won’t hold Tesla. After all, competition in the EV industry is intense and we never know if he will be distracted with politics to focus and advance the interests of Tesla. I think it will be back to the fear of a distracted CEO and this is obviously the market’s fear. Tesla stock will only do well if musk focus on his company and less on other toys just because he has the money. Trump is even more unpredictable than musk. So, I won’t know if trump will be more hostile towards Tesla. But we all know that trump has favoured traditional energy sources so even if he is hostile towar
I have been following the recent buzz around Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ after Elon Musk announced the formation of the "American Party," which seems to have triggered a drop in Teslas stock below 290, sparking some concerns. It is an interesting turn of events, and I cannot help but wonder what is next for the company. The questions being thrown around, like whether I am bullish or bearish on Tesla, make me reflect on Musks leadership and the companys resilience. As for my stance, I would say I am cautiously optimistic, though it is hard to pin down without more data. Musk has a track record of turning things around when the odds seem stacked against him, and I believe he might just pull it off again. The

Here’s What Investors Can Do When Markets Are Closed
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ The U.S. stock market shuts down roughly a dozen times each year for federally recognized holidays, plus a handful of early closing days around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Independence Day. These closures are part of the fabric of Wall Street tradition, but they occasionally draw criticism from those who see them as relics of a bygone era. Recently, former President Donald Trump added fuel to the debate, claiming that America “can’t be great again if everyone is always on vacation,” and singling out the stock market holiday calendar as an example of “bureaucratic inefficiency.” Regardless of whether you agree with Trump’s assessment, his remarks have
Reversal Signals Appear on HSI—What Traders Are Watching Now
The $HSI(HSI)$ is moving in an upward sloping channel and potentially forming a cup and handle pattern. Recent daily candles show lower shadows, suggesting buying interest near support of the channel. Immediate resistance remains at 24,880, the neckline of the potential pattern. How to Use DLC if Recent Reversal Candles Are Successful The recent daily candles show lower wicks and buying support, hinting at a bullish reversal within the uptrend channel. If these reversal candles are confirmed by follow-through buying (i.e., price closes above recent highs or breaks above 24,880): Traders may consider Long DLCs (e.g. $HSI 5xLongSG261029(CVMW.SI)$ ) for short-term positioning to ride potential upside.

Tesla’s EV Headwinds and Musk’s ‘America Party’: Exit or Endure?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shareholders woke up to a jarring headline this week: the stock shed more than 8% in a single session, wiping out over $60 billion in market capitalization, after CEO Elon Musk hinted at forming an “America Party” and running for U.S. President in 2028. Already under pressure from declining EV sales, intensifying competition, and dwindling regulatory credits, the political turn by the CEO has further shaken investor confidence. At its core, Tesla remains the world’s most valuable electric vehicle manufacturer and an iconic disruptor of the auto industry. But a confluence of fundamental and perception-driven headwinds is raising the question: Should investors exit or hold Tesla at this juncture? And what do
Tariff Tensions Ignite VIX Surge: Hedge Now or Hold Tight?
President Trump’s tariff letters to 14 countries, announcing rates from 10% to 70% starting August 1, 2025, have sent shockwaves through global markets. With Japan and South Korea facing 25% tariffs and others like Cambodia at 36%, the countdown to the tariff deadline is fueling uncertainty. The VIX, Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” has climbed to 18.50, reflecting growing market anxiety, though claims of an 8% spike may be overstated. As the S&P 500 hovers near 6,135 with a potential 5-10% pullback to 5,800-6,000 looming, investors are scrambling to protect their portfolios. Will more countries strike deals to dodge tariffs? How will markets react? And should you hedge now? This report dives into the tariff drama, VIX volatility, market impacts, and strategic hedging approaches to navigate

$POP MART(09992)$ (HKEX) Cup and Handle Formation on 1-Hour Chart A potential cup and handle pattern is forming on the 1-hour chart, with the base near 234 HKD and neckline at ~270 HKD. This pattern typically signals bullish continuation if price breaks and holds above the neckline. Measured move target: ~306 HKD (270 neckline + 36 HKD height of cup). How Traders Use DLCs for Short-Term Positioning Bullish Scenario (Using Long DLCs): If price breaks above 270 with follow-through buying and strong candle close, long DLCs ( $Popmart 5xLongSG270706(IAUW.SI)$ )may be used to express a short-term bullish view.

Hedge or Panic? The Market’s Tariff Time Bomb Is Ticking
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$$ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(VIXY)$ Global markets are once again facing an uncomfortable reality: trade tensions are back at center stage, and this time, the stakes feel even higher. Recent threats of punitive tariffs on BRICS-aligned nations by the U.S., combined with retaliatory rhetoric from emerging market economies, have reignited volatility across equities, bonds, and currencies. Investors who had grown accustomed to a “lower-for-longer” volatility regime are now waking up to a very different market mood, as evidenced by the sharp surge in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) over the past two weeks.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Introduction: A New Chapter in Trade Tensions Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again stirred the global economic landscape with a bold declaration: an additional 10% tariff on goods imported from nations aligned with the BRICS bloc—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This escalation in trade policy rhetoric signals a potential intensification of the already complex geopolitical and economic tensions that have defined global markets in recent years. The prospect of heightened tariffs threatens to reverberate across international trade networks, supply chains, and investm
